"We need to reinvent or redefine what a public land-grant university—an invention of the 19th century—is and should do for the citizens of a 21st century world." — Robert J. Jones, Chancellor
Our 2017 strategic plan, "A Tradition and Future of Excellence" set out eight Action Areas:
- Metrics & Dashboards - compile and present data related to graduate education
- Innovative Academic Programs - assistant academic units in developing and revising degree programs
- Diversity - broaden participating in graduate education
- Student Experience - enrich student experience and promote student wellness
- Student Success - prepare student to thrive in and beyond graduate school
- Coordination with Camupus Units - support efficient administration of graduate programs
- Staff Development - promote professional growth and expertise in graduate education
- Visibility - improve the visibility of the Graduate College and our graduate students
Following the vision and priorities laid out in The Next 150, the Graduate College will develop a new five-year strategic plan in Fall 2022.
